Through a collaboration with Eicher GIS, The Timoney Group presents an innovative, interactive display of South American trade that shows the promise of Google Earth as a tool for presenting socio-economic data in a medium that powerfully communicates the major trends while providing intelligent links to detailed data points.

What makes this innovative?
  • the ability to cycle through data quickly to absorb dominant trading trends
  • direct links to the UN COMTRADE database to get specific dollar amounts
  • deeper understanding of what underlies the broad patterns through links to 2-digit sub-categories
  • Read what others are saying here and here.

We'll help you map your business data so you can...

  • present geographical trends in a compelling,
    visual manner
  • create standalone files that you can email to
    co-workers and clients
  • link your own enterprise databases to Google Earth
    to see your business metrics in 'real time'
  • create intuitive gateways to on-line databases that
    you access regularly
  • harness our advanced query technology to
    analyze data 'on-the-fly'

Spreadsheets and databases are fine for storing and manipulating data, but they are inadequate for visualizing and understanding data. Graphic presentations of information in an intuitive geographic context powerfully convey the trends in your numbers that both save you time and deepen your understanding. And for your audiences that are long-since-bored by Power Point tables and bullet points, enlivening your presentation with a Google Earth visualization both engages their interest and enables them to absorb your content more effectively.
